Right now a Caravan coming from Mexico, composed of thousands of people, seems to be unstoppable in its quest to come through our currently Open Border,” Trump said. “On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders. This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country!” he continued. “Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to easily solve this long simmering problem. We hereby demand that they use this power, and until such time that they do, it is time for them to pay a very big price!” he added. ( @realDonaldTrump – Truth Social Post )( Donald J.

Trump TRUTH POSTS (@TruthTrumpPosts) November 25, 2024 A closer look: From the Associated Press: Although Trump once called Trudeau “weak” and “dishonest” during his first term, ties between the two countries have remained among the closest in the world. Trudeau said earlier Friday that he would resolve the issue by talking To Trump. “We’re going to work together to meet some of the concerns,” Trudeau told reporters in Prince Edward Island in Atlantic Canada. “But ultimately it is through lots of real constructive conversations with President Trump that I am going to have, that will keep us moving forward on the right track for all Canadians.” Trudeau said Trump got elected because he promised to bring down the cost of groceries but now he’s talking about adding 25% to the cost of all kinds of products including potatoes from Prince Edward Island. “It is important to understand that Donald Trump, when he makes statements like that, he plans on carrying them out. There’s no question about it,” Trudeau said. Trudeau spoke with Trump earlier this week and said the two “had a good call.” “We talked about some of the challenges we can work on together. It was a good call, this is something we can do,” he continued.

Pierre Poilievre, the Conservative Leader, said that Trudeau would need a “Canada First” strategy, which he’s been advocating for even as Trudeau has downplayed the situation. “Let your motto be, Canada first, Canada last and Canada always,” Poilievre said on Wednesday. Poilievre also called for Trudeau to cancel caps on oil as well as natural gas. Trudeau released his own video earlier in November announcing an intended reduction in the number of immigrants that would be admitted to Canada. Trudeau and Trump spoke via phone where the two discussed the tariffs. “This is something that we can do,” Trudeau said. “Laying out the facts, moving forward in constructive ways.” “This is a relationship that we know takes a certain amount of working on and that’s what we’ll do,” he added when speaking to reporters, per Politico.

Former Democrat megadonor John Morgan shared that Barron Trump is smarter than anyone on the Kamala Harris campaign. Morgan & Morgan founder John Morgan on Fox News shared, “It turns out that Barron Trump, who looks like a runway model, was telling his father, ‘You need to go on podcasts, you need to go on Joe Rogan.” He continued, “Barron Trump is a lot smarter than everybody in the Harris [campaign].” “They played hide the ball, they lost badly, she should go away and never, ever come back,” added Morgan.

He is not wrong.pic.twitter.com/qnyY1iAHPy — Defiant L’s (@DefiantLs) November 28, 2024 Here’s what Fox News reported: Morgan & Morgan founder John Morgan said Wednesday on Fox News that Barron Trump, President-elect Trump’s young son, insisting on his dad going on “The Joe Rogan Experience” and other popular podcasts was critical to beating Vice President Kamala Harris.”It turns out that Barron Trump, who looks like a runway model, was telling his father, ‘You need to go on podcasts, you need to go on Joe Rogan,’” he said. Morgan criticized the Harris campaign team for not doing more podcasts and other forms of media like Rogan’s show. Harris appeared on a number of podcasts with large followings during her campaign, but none with the pull of Rogan’s. Trump’s lengthy Oct. 25 appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience” has more than 50 million views on YouTube, while a clip of Harris’ appearance on the popular women-focused “Call Her Daddy” podcast has failed to break 1 million since being uploaded Oct. 6.”Barron Trump is a lot smarter than everybody in the Harris [campaign],” Morgan added. “The progressives didn’t want to go on Joe Rogan.” “They played hide the ball, they lost badly, she should go away and never, ever come back,” Morgan said. Democrat Megadonor John Morgan: “Barron Trump is a lot smarter than everybody in the Harris campaign.” pic.twitter.com/G7HGYjzArU — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) November 29, 2024 Per Newsweek: Democratic megadonor has said that President-elect Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump, is “smarter” than anyone in Kamala Harris’ campaign team. John Morgan, a Florida attorney who is becoming increasingly critical of the vice president’s 2024 bid, said 18-year-old Barron Trump was correct for convincing his father to appear on popular podcasts, such as Joe Rogan’s and Theo Von’s, as it helped the Republican appeal to new voters. In comparison, Morgan told Fox News’ Kayleigh McEnany Wednesday that Harris’ team convinced her not to appear on Rogan’s show, the most popular podcast in the world, especially among young men. Trump’s victory over Harris was partly due to the president-elect making significant gains and inroads on his 2020 numbers in a number of voter blocs, including among Gen Z voters—those aged 18 to 27—and first-time voters. Morgan accused Harris’ 2024 campaign of appealing too much toward people not wanting to support Trump, rather than trying to win people over, as the Republican candidate was doing by appearing on podcasts.

After its Facebook account was suspended, gun makers Smith & Wesson thanked Elon Musk for supporting free speech. Smith & Wesson announced that it had been suspended for promoting the sale of weapons. And this is after having an account there for 15 years. Founded in 1852 in Norwich, Connecticut, they’re one of the most recognized gun brands in America with $535.8 million in sales this year. I think its fair to say that Americans haven’t stopped buying guns, despite the Left’s fear-mongering against it. Hearing they were booted by Facebook has a lot of people saying they know what they’re going to buy for Christmas. America’s gun collecting continues, despite what the Establishment does to discourage it. Popular gun manufacturer thanks Elon Musk after being suspended by Facebook.

Joe Rogan casually dropped a bombshell during episode 2236 of his podcast. He’s claiming Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wanted a guest spot on The Joe Rogan Experience. Rogan, ever the skeptic, wasn’t sold on the idea, especially after his recent “f*** you, man” comment about Zelensky potentially igniting World War III. Some are pointing out that Rogan stated ‘you don’t really know someone unless you’re having a conversation with them’. And with him refusing to have a conversation with Zelenskyy, they say he’s refusing to understand his side. But there’s more to it than that.

Newsweek reports: Comedian Joe Rogan has claimed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wanted to come on his popular podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, and implied he was skeptical about the idea. Rogan made the remark on episode 2236 of his podcast, which was released on Thursday and featured fellow podcasters Shane Gillis, Mark Normand and Ari Shaffir as guests. The remark comes after Rogan sparked controversy by suggesting Zelensky was part of a group that “are about to start World War III” telling the Ukrainian leader “f*** you, man” during the November 22 edition of his podcast. Russian troops launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 22, 2022, sparking the war which The Wall Street Journal estimated in September has resulted in one million killed or injured. During his latest podcast Rogan discussed the possibility of a war with Russia, commenting: “I don’t really think Putin’s that stupid. I think he’s gonna realize what’s going on and I think they’re probably working this out. Alex Jones said Trump is having secret meetings at Mar-a-Lago, I hope it’s true.” Referring to his podcast Rogan added “Zelensky tried to come on” sparking a shocked reaction from his podcast guests. He continued: “They tried to get Zelensky on. I was like, what are you talking about?” Rogan went on to discuss the process for booking guests for his show without elaborating about Zelensky’s offer. Newsweek contacted The Joe Rogan Experience and President Zelensky, via online contact form and email respectively, for comment on Friday outside of regular office hours.
